VELO DE VILLE highlights lightweight HUB-e and VELOWALLET enhancements

VELO DE VILLE will showcase a range of products at CIN LIVE 2026, including a new urban eBike and new features of its VELOWALLET.

The HUB-e is an urban eBike weighing only 19 kilograms. Powered by the new Bosch HUB motor in combination with the Bosch PowerTube 360Wh battery, the HUB-e features a hub motor weighing only around 2.3 kilograms and delivering 45Nm of torque and up to 400 watts of power. It integrates almost invisibly into the rear wheel hub, contributing to the bike’s low overall weight and clean design.

The HUB-e is VELO DE VILLE’s 60th anniversary model. The company stated that the upright riding position provides good visibility in city traffic and enhances riding comfort on both short and long trips. With a maximum load capacity of 140 kilograms, there is also plenty of room for groceries and extra luggage.

Moreover, VELO DE VILLE has also launched the HUB-e XS, a compact version of the HUB-e. Like the HUB-e, the HUB-e XS weighs as little as 19 kilograms and is designed for a maximum gross weight of 140 kilograms. Available with either a 26-inch Wave or 26-inch Diamond frame, it is suitable for navigating dense city traffic and shorter journeys.

Aside from the eBikes, VELO DE VILLE has also introduced new features to VELOWALLET, enabling customers and retailers to track the entire journey of a custom-built bike.

Customers can monitor every stage of their bike’s journey, from production planning and powder coating to assembly and delivery to the specialist retailer, providing greater transparency throughout the production and purchasing process.

The updates also offer benefits for specialist retailers in their day-to-day operations. A centralised overview consolidates all sold bikes along with their specifications, while digital documents and bike-specific manuals are available at any time. Components can also be uniquely identified via QR code, simplifying customer consultations, workshop preparation and service processes.

After delivery, VELOWALLET continues to support the ownership experience. Purchase receipts, service histories, maintenance records and other relevant documents remain permanently accessible and are updated with every visit to the retailer. Automatic inspection reminders help customers keep up with regular maintenance, while dealers can access relevant information before a service appointment.
